Obama, Crisis, and the State
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 4.30.2009
How should we take the long view after 100 days of Obamamania? In the course of completing my long book about the Reagan presidency and what conclusions we should draw from that experience more than 20 years later, I have been pondering two books from the time. One was Arthur Schlesinger’s The Cycles of American History, published in 1986.
Environmental Progress Continues
Submitted by Scott Johnson on 4.26.2009
Steven Hayward is not only the author of the forthcoming "The Age of Reagan, 1980-1989: The Conservative Counterrevolution. He is also the author of the fourteenth annual edition of the Index of Leading Environmental Indicators, just published to coincide with Earth day and Lenin's birthday.
Earth Day Update: Green Without Government
Submitted on 4.22.2009
It’s the day of the year that the world celebrates being green and there’s certainly a lot to be “green” about today. The Pacific Research Institute and the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) published their yearly Index of Leading Environmental Indicators showing major progress in cleaner air and safe drinking water. Despite the apparent “sky is falling” mentality of many environmentalists and Members of Congress, there are good things going on outside of government-directed environmental progress.
Happy Earth Day
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 4.22.2009
Normally I'd post this on Planet Gore, but since today is Earth Day (and also Lenin's birthday — coincidence?), how about a rousing shout-out for environmental progress, as I document in the 14th edition of my Index of Leading Environmental Indicators.
Has California finally hit the wall?
Submitted by Michael Haley on 4.22.2009
In a recent interview with Jason Clemens, Economist and Director of Research for the Pacific Research Institute, he explained that California’s budget problems are not really about taxes or the costs of illegal immigration. PRI is near completion of a large detailed study on California’s prosperity, or the lack thereof, and one of the main conclusions is that the state is broke because the economy is deteriorating and has been for some time.
The Annual Green Orgy: Earth Day
Submitted by Alan Caruba on 4.22.2009
On Earth Day we will have been engulfed by the avalanche of “Green” propaganda that preceded it, fills the day, and then continues relentlessly thereafter.
The Killers & Kooks of Earth Day
Submitted by Rush Limbaugh on 4.22.2009
RUSH: Now, we've just honored some great people on Earth Day, but here is a story from some newspaper called The Bulletin. It is an American paper, I guess it's Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Bulletin. "Today is Earth Day, a holiday created to honor the planet and to raise the consciousness of man's effect on the environment. Philadelphia has a very strong tie to this day. One of its native sons, Ira Einhorn, was a co-founder of the environmentalist jubilee.
Save Capitalism
Submitted on 4.21.2009
Buried beneath all the badgering and fear-mongering about lavish Western lifestyles is a reality that the stuck-on-green left won't talk about and the average American isn't aware of: The world, especially in developed nations, is a cleaner — and greener — place than it was when the environmental movement began.
On Earth Day, don't buy into the eco-doomsaying
Submitted by Sally C. Pipes on 4.19.2009
What would Earth Day be without hand wringing over the supposedly dire state of the planet? Concern over climate change seems to have reached a fever pitch. And the American economy has been fingered as the culprit.
2009 Environmental Index Marks Key Anniversaries in Environmental History
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 4.16.2009
San Francisco – The Pacific Research Institute (PRI) and the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) today released the 2009 Index of Leading Environmental Indicators, an annual report highlighting the significant environmental developments and milestones in the United States and worldwide. The 2009 edition marks the anniversary of key moments in environmental history, including the 1989 Exxon Valdez tanker disaster, the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill, and perhaps the most iconic event in environmental history -- the Cuyahoga River fire of June 1969.
